Monarch Of Time

Chapter 672: How strong?

Chapter 672: How strong?

As he finished speaking, Shun Long simply took a step forward as his body suddenly disappeared, appearing next to the young man who was running towards him.

The young man was surprised but a look of exhilaration appeared on his face in the next moment, as he hurriedly swung his long saber sideways, aiming to chop Shun Long's waist.

As long as he wasn't hit by that weird move that Shun Long had used against Dong Ai, the young man was confident in his ability to defeat Shun Long with a single strike.

After all, if it wasn't for that weird move, how could Shun Long possibly defeat Dong Ai with a single punch?

The young man believed that only because Dong Ai couldn't defend herself was Shun Long able to defeat her like that.

Shun Long's lips curved up when he saw the saber that was chopping towards his waist, as he suddenly extended his right hand, before an illusionary, purple-colored spatial blade appeared in it.

Without any hesitation, Shun Long slashed his spatial blade towards the incoming saber.

Sparks appeared the moment that the large saber met the illusionary purple-colored blade, and under the disbeliving eyes of the crowd, the young man in front of Shun Long felt a terrifying force enter his arm, as he staggered back for more than a dozen steps.

''What? How is this possible?'' The young man stared at the web on his left hand that was previously holding his saber and was now torn, as blood was flying from it unceasingly. And yet, the young man didn't seem to have noticed the sharp pain as he couldn't believe that his hand was injured after a single exchange of blows.

This young man was the same as Shun Long, a dual cultivator who trained in both qi, and body refinement.

Just like Shun Long, the strength of his body had reached the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement as well... so how was the difference between them so large?

Even after using a peak rank 3 gold grade weapon and infusing his qi in his saber during his attack, the young man was still on the losing end against Shun Long who had clearly not used an ounce of his qi and had only used his physical strength instead!

Shun Long's lips curved up when he felt the power of his body as he went all-out.

Of course, how could this person in front of him know, that Shun Long had refined nearly 100 top-grade rank 5 'dragonblood tempering pills' just to reach the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement?

As soon as he broke through, Shun Long knew that the strength of his 'Monarch's Eternal body' had reached a terrifying level.

Although it couldn't compare to his qi cultivation that could easily destroy normal peak rank 9 Nascent Soul cultivators if he used his 'Time Prison', it was still extremely terrifying.

In terms of the strength of his body alone, Shun Long was confident that his body was comparable to that of most peak rank 5 magic beasts. If he fought at full strength and used his Dao of Space and conjured his spatial blade, Shun Long was even confident to slaughter most peak rank 5 magic beasts as well.

Even normal peak rank 9 Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare to say that they could contend against peak rank 5 magic beasts by themselves.

After all, it was common knowledge that magic beasts were much stronger than humans at the same level.

Only those disciples who had reached the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul and their comprehension had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage as well, or it had even exceeded that level and were just a step away from entering the Dao King realm, would dare to fight peak rank 5 magic beasts by themselves.

Of course, some exceedingly powerful early rank 9 or middle rank 9 Nascent Soul cultivators would also have the ability to fight peak rank 5 magic beasts head-on, but those people were so rare that they were practically impossible to find.

As for Shun Long, he was a freak of nature!

Even the crowd felt that this scene in front of them was too terrifying.

Although this young man in front of Shun Long wasn't at the peak of his rank, he was still someone ranked in the top 2000 in the Martial Roll of Honor rankings.

For Shun Long to send him staggering with just a single slash and without even drawing his most powerful black sword, how terrifying was that?

Even Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian stared at Shun Long with looks of surprise on their faces, while Liu Mei had a look of contentment and admiration in his eyes, while Xingyi's beautiful emerald eyes were sparkling.

Naturally, which woman didn't want their man to be powerful?

As for Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian, a single question had appeared in their minds.

''How strong is he right now?''

Indeed, after breaking through to the late stages of the Nascent Soul, no one had brought Shun Long to his current limits.

Whether it was Xingyi's senior brother Ma Ming, Dong Ai, or anyone else that Shun Long had fought after breaking through to the late stages of the Nascent Soul, all of them were destroyed by a single punch as long as Shun Long used his Dao of Time.

However, even the strength of his body was now so terrifying, that it was only inferior to his abnormal qi cultivation.

And yet, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian only felt happy for Shun Long. After all, they had already decided to follow him, so the stronger Shun Long became, the happier they would become as well. Besides, how could they follow Shun Long if he wasn't stronger than them? This was a feeling of pride that all experts had, as no one would ever follow someone weaker than them unless that person was too talented and was bound to exceed them in the future, or if they were hired by that person.

The crowd that was previously clammoring with excitement had now fallen completely silent, as almost everyone's eyes were now on the figure of the young man with the short black hair on the platform.

Even some of the powerful experts in the top 1000 narrowed their eyes dangerously as they stared at Shun Long, finally admitting that his strength was indeed enough to threaten them.

''This kid... How strong is he? Was he hiding his strength previously or is it that no one has brought him to his current limits yet? Haha, this will be interesting.'' The Grand Elder mused as he stared at Shun Long's figure, while in Elder Xuan's face, a smile akin to a flower blooming had blossomed as well.

Although she had never expected that Shun Long would actually be this strong, since she already knew about Shun Long's relationship with Liu Mei, Elder Xuan only felt happy to see the young man in the arena actually be this powerful.
